I thought I’d reflect on a colleague that seems to be very laid back but is not in some respects.
One of the supervisors I have been on placement at would regularly arrive at the workplace a few minutes late and usually it would be 10 to 15 minutes before actually being ready for work. I have no problem with that…what I find rather surprising though is the same person having a go at one of my peers when she came back from her lunch 4 minutes late.
I know that being punctual is a sign of respect towards our patients and is an important issue. What I find a bit frustrating is that there seems to be a double standard…it seems to be ok for some people to be late, but not for others.
Anyway, thought I’d share this experience with you and see what you guys think.

Well she is a supervisor and may be she stays beck at work to make her time? Anyway I wouldn’t worry, as long as you on time. Who cares if she is late? It’s just shows her commitment to the work place. Politics always exist, so I wouldn’t worry to waste my energy on that.
Yeah I agree with Viadas, you have to "play the game" a bit. As a physio said to us the other day, just get thru the course and then you can practice how you like (obviously within reason). I appreciate that it is frustrating whan people have double standards, but I must say my supervisors have all been pretty fair and on time.
